Well I’m on my way to move to the university of florida. I’m typing this in word while we are driving. I love laptops. Everyone should get one. We fit everything in the van, my room at home looks pretty empty. I went up to Boone this morning with Ashley to visit BBC, which was fun. The intro is soooo good! It was funny just how much the class is just like it was last year, with some different people. We left a bunch of questions for curious george. So if you want answers to any of your life questions just drop by BBC and drop your question in the box. Anyways…..then me, ashely, and kim t went to Clarkies for breakfast. We figured that was something we should do since we call ourselves boone alumni and we haven’t even been there. It was really good & so cute in its own little way. It like you walk into a different state when you are in there and all the hustle and bustle of Orlando goes away. I liked it. It was sorta weird saying goodbye, but I know I will see them soon. I have to go visit tally and she has to come visit g’ville because neither of us has seen the other campus. We decided we would corrupt kim t with all the joys of the internet =) Then it was up to the ear doctor…he cleaned the gunk out and said I had a bad infection. Ew. I have to put drops in my ear for a week now. Double ew. Lunch and then right before we were about to hit the road my dad walked in the garage and noticed it smelled like gasoline. It had started to leak out of the motor in the Volkswagen, but we were so fortunate that it happened then and not later. We flooded the floor of the garage and prayed it would be okay.
The whole moving to college thing is still weird. I feel like I’m going on a long vacation, an I don’t think I completely comprehend that I’m not coming home. Well I am but you know. I think I’m coming back for labor day….depends on if I can get a ride back Monday. I was just thinking about living on my own and being completely independent….sorta weird. It doesn’t scare me, and I know I will be fine, but it will just be different. I will feel like I should call my room mate and check in like I do with my mom….or something. My roomie, Jessica, moves in Wednesday. I don’t know how hard it is going to be to say goodbye to my parents. They don’t seem too sad about it yet, and they certainly aren’t a disaster….or at least they aren’t showing it yet. It will be interesting. I haven’t cried about leaving much, just a bit at church on Sunday. I figured I would be a mess this last few days. It sorta suprizing that I haven’t been. I wonder what it will be like. Who will I hang out with? How long will it be before I find a close group of friends I spend most of my time with? Find a church? Find a favorite campus ministry? A boyfriend? Haha….or even better….my future husband??? I think one of the things I’m most unsure of right now is finding people to go with me to the different campus activites this week that I want to go to. Im not so worried about walking there, as much as coming back. I’m excited about hanging out with that girl I met at status, and meeting my room mate. I like my room mate a lot. It’s a comfort thing to know that I don’t have a problem making new friends. Its also a comfort thing that I will be forever connected to everyone just the way I am at home through fun stuff like this and mysapce. If you are ever in Gainesville give me a holler, I’ll come visit you! Or if you want to see the campus, let me know. Its weird to think that all of my closest friends aren’t going to be right there. I’m gunna miss yall! I’m excited about starting anew.
Create in me a new heart, Oh God. Amen.
